Everywhere in the world women tend to live longer than men
The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for men and women. It is clear that every country is over the diagonal line of parity. This means that a newborn girl in all countries can be expected to live for longer than her brothers.
It is interesting to note that while the female advantage exists across all countries, the global differences are significant. In Russia women have an average of 10 years more than men; in Bhutan the difference is less than half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In wealthy countries, the women's advantage in longevity was not as great.
Let's take a look at how the female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The chart below shows male and female life expectancies at the birth in the US in the years 1790 to 2014. Two areas stand out.
First, there is an upward trend. Men and women in America live longer than they used to a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The gap is increasing: While the female advantage in life expectancy was once extremely small however, it has grown significantly over time.
If you select the option "Change country by country' in the chart, verify that these two points also apply to the other countries having available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
